Posted on by michael_howarth

I have setup manual authentication as per the user guide and can successfully retrieve data from files uploaded to sharepoint but i cannot get anything back for pages or lists which suggests authentication is working to OneDrive but not Sharepoint.

How can i troubleshoot or resolve this.
